I've got a Dell Inspirion 5100.

I'm trying to get 2.6.0-test9 working with the initrd dsdt table patch. I normally don't use an initrd, and on his page it says that if I don't use an initrd I can just set the initrd to the binary lookingish .aml file that iasl produces. So in my grub.conf file I have the line:
Initrd /boot/initrd

Where the contents of initrd is the .aml file. From dmesg it still says not detected. How can I fix this?

the contents of the initrd is not the AML only, it also contains a magic signature:

echo "INITRDDSDT123DSDT123" >> /boot/initrd # magic signature cat DSDT.aml >> /boot/initrd

otherwise, you are sure that the patch is included in the kernel? what is the exact output (dmesg)?

cheers,
sebastian
